On the campus outside the south gate of Chicheng Castle, the new commander-in-chief Yu Deshui was lecturing two idiots: "...Have you forgotten how the commander-in-chief lectured him in the military hall when he was promoted to commander?"
The Military Academy was a military school founded by Zhang Cheng after he returned to the army after the Henan campaign. At this stage, it does not have unique military teaching materials for the North Road. It mainly teaches reading and literacy to officers at all levels.
Qi Shaobao's "New Book of Ji Xiao", "Record of Military Training", "New Book of Arms Preparation" and other military books are temporarily used as teaching materials, because Zhang Cheng did not significantly change the corresponding military regulations, military disciplines, military orders, and the military standards. class content.
Therefore, by studying these military books, officers can strengthen their literacy and understand the military's various drill orders, formation orders, laws and prohibitions, flags, etc., and also have knowledge about mobilizing troops, camp drills, marching camps, and battle formations. introduce.
In addition, Zhang Cheng also ordered the generals to sort out the records of various battles since King Qin, such as Mafang, Shiqiao, Gaoyang, Julu, Mi County, Yanshi, Kaifeng and many other battles. Make the discussion of pros and cons a part of the teaching material.
They even compiled the records of Zhang Cheng's battles against bandits since he left the North Road of the Town, and used them as auxiliary teaching materials. He also sorted out part of the story of his previous outings overnight and included them in the teaching materials.
When establishing the Military Hall, Zhang Cheng said that not only the existing officers at all levels must attend the Military Hall to study regularly, but those who will be promoted to team officers or above in the future must first go to the Military Hall to study intensively for three months. , to take office.
Li Erdan and Cheng Sanhu were promoted to Jia Commander. Although they did not need to attend the academy to study intensively for three months, they were included in the education targets like other outstanding sergeants and had to attend the military hall on schedule every month. Attend five classes.
At the same time, in order to increase everyone's attention to the Military Hall, Zhang Cheng personally served as the dean of the Military Hall. Everyone from the Jia commander to the commander-in-chief of each battalion would go to the Military Hall to receive his instructions before taking office.
I only heard Yu Deshui continue to say: "You are able to serve as the commander of the armor because of the commander's trust. You don't want to repay, but you are talking nonsense here. Do you want to trap the commander into injustice, or do you want to put me in trouble?" Are the soldiers and civilians on the North Road in danger?"
Li Erdan and Cheng Sanhu no longer had any temper at this moment. They lowered their heads and said softly in unison: "I know I was wrong!"
Yu Deshui was not really angry. In fact, he had the same thoughts in his heart, but he couldn't say these words. Today was just a reminder to them, so as not to spill the beans on a whim in the future.
At that moment, he said to them again: "You two are loyal to the commander-in-chief. This is right. Just like the commander-in-chief said, it is only natural that we serve as soldiers and eat food.
But you guys, whose food you eat and whose salary you receive, you have to be careful and don't become that ungrateful brat. If that's the case, I'll be the first to spare you. he. "
Yu Deshui still had an angry look on his face at this moment. Seeing the two of them lowering their eyebrows and lowering their heads, he felt a little unbearable, so he said seriously: "Now the commander-in-chief will lead the army to Liaodong, and we will be left in Chicheng to guard the North Road." , that is the trust placed in our Yongwei Battalion. It is precisely because our battalion has warriors like you who fought brilliantly in the aid and suppression of Henan that we were given the important task of staying behind by the commander-in-chief.
Don't live up to the commander-in-chief's grace. You should stop thinking about these things that you have and don't have, and focus more on training new bravery. Train these new bravery for me as soon as possible, so as to avoid running out of soldiers when encountering trouble. ! "
"Here!"
Cheng Sanhu and Li Erdan sang in unison again.
At this time, seeing that Yu Deshui's expression was no longer as angry as before, Li Erdan leaned forward again and said in a rough voice: "Yu Bantou, I'll have sex in two days. I want to date the three tiger brothers." When I go to Zuixianju to have a drink, I wonder if I will have some free time."
Cheng Sanhu was much smarter than him. Seeing Yu Deshui, he did not refuse immediately. He hurriedly walked forward and said with a smile: "Yu Boss, let's make an appointment with Li Jiachang to go to Zuixianju to study how fire soldiers and cold soldiers can cooperate to kill the enemy. I'd like to ask Boss Yu to come and give me some pointers. How about that?"
Yu Deshui forced a sullen face and said calmly: "We can't say for sure now, let's make an appointment then, don't miss it!"
Li Erdan was still standing in a daze, but Cheng Sanhu on the side saw that it was time to resign, so he said: "Boss Yu, I have to go to practice new bravery despite my humble position, so I will resign first."
Yu Deshui looked at the background of Li Erdan and Cheng Sanhu going away, his eyes full of admiration. He really loved these two people. One of them was a fire soldier, the other was a cold soldier with a sword and shield. They were both soldiers. He is a leader in the competition and has often given Jin Yong face in every battle.
After Zhang Cheng learned about their performance, he was very satisfied, and even praised it many times in front of the generals. Although there were many warriors in the camps on the North Road, the two of them were also the best among them.
Yu Deshui touched his bare chin and said to himself: "They are two good seedlings, but they are just a little stunned!"
…………
On May 13th, outside the Dongnuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace in the Forbidden City, Zhang Cheng had been waiting for half an hour. His legs were numb and sore from standing, but he did not dare to move an inch.
Even when he was in Xuanzang, he was fearless, but now in this deep palace compound, Emperor Chongzhen can take him down with just one word, whether his head falls to the ground or he is cut into pieces with a thousand swords. The person in the room had a sudden thought.
The reason why he dared to do those things unscrupulously in Xuanzhen relied not only on the powerful military force under his command, but also on the favor of the current emperor and the love and care of his own soldier Chen Xinjia.
But they couldn't accurately predict Emperor Chongzhen's situation. Zhang Cheng's current mood was just like that of Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao, when he received the imperial edict.
"Xuanxuan Town Zhang Cheng comes to the pavilion to see you!" Just when Zhang Cheng insisted hard, a high-pitched call came from the Nuan Pavilion.
He hurriedly tidied up the court uniform of the second-grade military attaché, Commander Tongzhizheng, and stepped lightly into the Dongnuan Pavilion. When he came to the middle, he knelt down on the ground and performed the usual court ceremony.
Emperor Chongzhen sat behind the imperial desk and said: "Zhang Cheng, get up and answer the question."
Zhang Cheng reluctantly stood up with his left hand on the ground and heard Emperor Chongzhen say again: "Bring General Zhang a chair."
He hurriedly knelt down to thank the emperor again, then stood up and met Chen Xinjia, Minister of the Ministry of War, and walked to the chair that the young eunuch had just brought. Although he did not only sit on a third of his buttocks like Chen Xinjia, he still sat on it. I didn't dare to sit down completely.
Zhang Cheng only sat on half of the chair, and suddenly felt that his legs felt much more comfortable. But when he raised his eyes, he saw a palace maid on the left side of Nuan Pavilion. He seemed to have seen it somewhere before?
